We join you in lifting up your son’s safe journey, trusting that the Lord’s protection surrounds him as he drives. *"The Lord will preserve your going out and your coming in, from this time forward, and forevermore."* (Psalm 121:8, WEB) May God’s angels encamp around him, guiding his path and keeping him from harm.
Regarding your mention of a relationship, we must lovingly yet firmly address this in light of Scripture. The Bible clearly defines marriage as a covenant between one man and one woman (Genesis 2:24, Matthew 19:4-6). Any relationship outside this design—whether premarital intimacy, cohabitation, or same-sex unions—is sinful in God’s eyes (1 Corinthians 6:9-10, Hebrews 13:4). If this relationship is not between a man and woman seeking marriage in Christ, we urge you to repent and turn away from it, for *"the sexually immoral... will not inherit God’s Kingdom"* (1 Corinthians 6:9-10, WEB).
True help from God comes through obedience to His Word. If you are in a courtship with a believer of the opposite sex, pursuing marriage, then we pray for purity, wisdom, and God’s will to be done. But if this relationship contradicts Scripture, we rebuke the enemy’s deception and pray for your eyes to be opened to the truth. *"Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? What communion has light with darkness?"* (2 Corinthians 6:14, WEB)
**Prayer:**
Heavenly Father, we thank You for Your protection over this son’s travels. Surround him with Your peace and safety. Lord, we also lift up this relationship before You. If it does not align with Your holy design, convict hearts and bring repentance. Break every ungodly soul tie and lead them into truth. For those seeking marriage, grant discernment, purity, and a Christ-centered union. May Your will be done in all things. In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.
We encourage you to examine this relationship through the lens of Scripture. If you need guidance, seek godly counsel from a pastor or mature believer. *"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths."* (Proverbs 3:5-6, WEB) Stay rooted in prayer and the Word.
